Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. Mix the Filling

    In a bowl, combine chicken, Pioneer Taco Seasoning, onion, Roma tomatoes, jalapenos, and 1/2 cup of the cheese.

  3. Fill and Roll the Tortillas

    Using 2 ounces of the mixture, line the inside of a tortilla with the chicken mixture and roll to seal. Line the rolled tortillas, side by side, in a bake safe casserole dish.

  4. Simmer the Broth and Chipotles

    In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of chicken broth and minced chipotles; bring to a simmer.

  5. Thicken the Gravy

    In a separate container, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken broth and Pioneer Country Gravy Mix. Add to the simmering chicken stock and cook over medium heat until slightly thickened.

  6. Fold In the Cheese

    Remove from heat and fold in the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.

  7. Sauce and Bake

    Pour the prepared sauce over the enchiladas and bake for 20-30 minutes.
